Pro Portfolio runner-up: A Merlin helicopter gets delivered to Afghanistan via C-17 Aircraft. The Merlin, which recently left the UK, was packed, very cleverly, into the C-17 aircraft with only inches to spare. The helicopter, which will be in service very soon, was stripped of all its propellers, and carefully loaded into the enormous aircraft. The helicopter is now being rebuilt in the workshops in Camp Bastion prior to it being taken out flying.Picture: Sergeant Steve Blake RLC/MoD/Crown Copyright via Getty Images
